Die at the Door

The Next Morning

6:21 a.m.

Liddles had followed Wink Tyler for the past two weeks and watched his mother’s house every night, every morning, sometimes all day and knew the comings and the goings of the Tyler family like they were his own. Every morning Wink would pick his mother up and give her a ride to work at six-thirty in the morning. Wink would come from either of two locations, his apartment or the spot where he hustled. It was fortunate that this morning was like no other and no one had left the house; all were inside.

He watched the movement of the street carefully. It was a little after six in the morning. He grabbed his vase of tiger lilies and closed his car door, locking it behind him. He made his way up the front porch, pulled the screen door, and knocked, waiting for an answer.

“Who?” shouted a girl’s voice behind the door.

“FTD flower delivery for Ms. Tyler,” said Liddles as Leslee Tyler peeked out the tiny square window of the front door at the delivery guy holding a bouquet of flowers.

He could hear the girl behind the door unlocking the locks, and just as the door opened, he grabbed the girl, dropping the bouquet of flowers onto the floor, and closed the door behind him.

“Momma, Ma…” She didn’t get a second word out. Before she could speak, Liddles fired off a round, shooting Leslee in the head, the bullet penetrating and lodging in her skull.

“Leslee, what in the world is all that noi—” Just as Mrs. Tyler walked around the corner from the kitchen, Liddles fired two rounds, dropping her where she stood.

“Momma, no!” screamed her youngest son, Miles, who ran over to her fallen body on the floor. Liddles fired and shot the young teen once, the bullet hitting him in the head. His body fell on top of his mother’s. Liddles turned around at the sound of Linda moving around upstairs.

“What’s going on down there,” a groggy Linda hollered from upstairs. She walked into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

She could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, moving down the hall. The doorknob twisted as someone tried to open it.

“Hey, I’m in here, wait a minute.”

Silence fell until Linda opened the door.

“Who are you?” asked Linda, in her nightclothes, at the sight of Liddles.

“The Grim Reaper,” said Liddles before raising his arm and shooting Linda in the chest. He watched as her body fell backward and then stood over her and shot her in the head.

Just as he was walking down the stairs, he heard the front door opening. He hopped down the last steps, hit the floor, and dashed over to the other side of the wall where Wink would enter the living room.

What in the world, why she got these big-ass flowers blocking the door?

“Mom?” Wink called out, hoping she’d hear him and come get her flowers. Slowly he pushed the vase as he opened the door. He saw his sister Leslee’s gunned-down body sprawled across the floor.
